    Cheers Alan, about time indeed!

    One of Anita's ankle biters set it up for me, using Post Image, then showed me how to move the pics from here to here. Actually seems quite straightforward. I think one of the issues before was this laptop's inability to right-click (I know, bad workman and all that), but knowing I can do Ctrl V instead gets me around that.

    Downside: if you thought some of my posts were bad, now you can look forward to them being accompanied by some of the most pointless pics guaranteed to sap your last bit of will to live. So sorry about that

    Hi Ben,

    No, the bike is 16 years old, and I've had it for 13 of those years. This pic was taken shortly before I fell off it last September, and due to financial woes during last winter, combined with my reluctance to make an insurance claim means the Blade has been sulking in the garage ever since.

    The damage is not severe - apart from a knackered back wheel the damage is really cosmetic, but I estimate a repair cost of about a grand.

    Actual damage:

    R/h firing lower
    crash mushroom (did its job though!)
    Brake pedal/rearset
    rear indicator
    rear wheel

    I've got it all taxed and fully comp insured, but it's unlikely to get out this year

    Hope you're still having fun with the BM mate

    Absolutely, and as some of them have dimensions that defy belief I will put a twelve inch ruler alongside to give an idea of scale.

    One or two of the posts in that closed thread over there made me realise that I really need to get off my arse and do something about this posting pics thing - I would rarely use it to advertise stuff, but I think it would add another dimension to my contributions and may actually make them worth looking at. I know you look at them, but I'm referring to the grown ups

    Cheers for that Alan! I'd ask you how on earth you did that, but I would never understand the answer.
